Some Useful Finds Regarding Children’s Picture Books

Today I thought I would round-up a few useful sites dealing with picture books and related news.

A documentary I only recently learned about called Library of the Early Mind: A Grown-up Look at the Art of Children’s Literature will be at this year’s ALA in New Orleans as well as several other locations around the country. The full-length documentary features nearly 40 authors and illustrators. To get a list of additional screenings visit http://www.libraryoftheearlymind.com/

A useful websites for authors, illustrators, teachers and librarians is Picturing Books which features news and information regarding picture books. It also has a database of authors and illustrators that is worth checking out .

More picture book news can be found from the Huffington Post. Of particular interest is an article by Matt Cohen about using picture books to learn negotiation skills. It’s an interesting take on Mo Willem’s Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.
